Jones and Jordan were arrested last month in their native South Carolina and charged with open murder and home invasion. A third suspect is jailed in Michigan on a bond violation in another case but hasn't been charged in 25-year-old Paul DeWolf's killing.

DeWolf was found dead July 24 at an off-campus medical fraternity. A video game system was taken and later sold for $80.

The Ann Arbor News reported that during Friday's hearing assistant county prosecutor Blaine Longsworth played taped interviews with Jones and Jordan. They told police that DeWolf's fraternity house was one of two homes they broke into on July 23 and that an accomplice accidently shot the medical student.

"None of this was intentional," Jordan told investigators.

Michael Robertson, of Ypsilanti, also testified that he helped set up the sale of the video game system after it was stolen. Jordan and Jones told him a "tussle" took place during the break-in, Robertson said.

Jordan and Jones were ordered held in the county jail pending their circuit court arraignments.
